Web Casino Sucker Wagers — Part 2

  • Progressive side bets: Casino games like Caribbean Stud Poker often contain one of these. You typically lay a bet ($1 is the usual amount) to attempt to win a bonus jackpot that could be upwards of $25,000. Although huge jackpots like this are very appealing, they’re also incredibly complicated to succeed. You might have to get a Royal Flush in order to hit this bet. Also, think about this- you play 20 hands and place the side wager each time. That’s twenty dollars you could have used towards the actual game wager instead of a sucker bet. Imagine what you might have been able to win at a wager with more favorable odds employing that 20 dollars.
  • Single number wagers in Roulette: This is especially true for American Roulette. Why? American Roulette has 2 0’s on the wheel, unlike European Roulette, which has only one. This shifts the complete casino advantage from twopercent with one zero wheel to a whopping 5% in American. The individual number bet has just a one in 38 chance of winning, which are very big odds indeed. Try even-odd or black-red wagers alternately which have a much smaller casino advantage.
  • Keno: Any variation of Keno, and anyway you gamble on it, the casino advantage can be a whopping twenty-five percent. Yes, that isn’t a error. Due to the huge amount of numbers you must select, it isn’t advisable to play Keno very much. A couple of times for fun, perhaps. But do not waste all your money on it or you will immediately discover yourself beaten.
